Those shots of Watkins Pinnacles - as great as they are - happen to be taken from the west. The real impressive side of Watkins Pinnacles faces toward the east and has a bunch of steep multi-pitch crack climbs. Has anyone done any of those, Clint? Or is that most recent FA from your list, "Twisted Road", on the east facing side of WPs? If there are no routes on the east side of WPs, there sure ought to be.

Man on man, climbing is pretty low on my radar right now, but I still feel that rush of competitive panic when someone else chirps about the "super secret project" I've been nursing for years. And damn wombat, with the stuff you look at it's like you're a brother from another mother. When you organized that talk with Les about Hidden Chimney I had been foaming at the mouth over plans to unearth this lost gem, and I couldn't believe that someone else was bringing it to light.

The route from Tenaya Canyon always interested me. How can a climb with a pitch called "Air flight delight" not at least generate some interest? The FA party made it clear that it was a no-hands dyno, done in the 1950's.
